Choice A is correct. The line of best fit shown intersects they-axis at a positive y-value and has a positive slope. The graph of an equation of the form y = a +bx, where a and b are constants, intersects they-axis atay-value of a and has a slope of b. Of the given choices, only choice A represents a line that intersects they-axis at a positive y-value, 2.8, and has a positive slope, 1.7.
Choice B is incorrect. This equation represents a line that has a negative slope, not a positive slope. Choice C is incorrect. This equation represents a line that intersects they-axis at a negative y-value, not a positive y-value. Choice D is
incorrect. This equation represents a line that intersects they-axis at a negative y-value, not a positive y-value, and has a negative slope, not a positive slope.
